David, Are You Ready To Conquer The World? An Essay written on June 6, 1998

David Lardizabal, my youngest brother, visited me for two days at my Fisherman’s Wharf-San Francisco apartment in 1998. I memorialized his visit by writing an essay. My original intention was to use this essay as the introduction to my chap book about “Effective Networking.” Perhaps, one day, I will write this book. I am more interested in passing on my knowledge and experiences to my nieces and nephews.

Last night, in Columbia, Missouri, I asked David to scan the pages of the original essay that I had found in one of my gazillion boxes. I lost the original soft copy.

Today, I believe I am a more “evolved” Lorna when it comes to the basics of Networking. I feel that there is more caring and compassion in how I interact with people compared to my lifestyle in 1998… and that is a good thing!
